Congratulations to Jackson on being selected as our CTE Business Student of the Month! 🏆

Jackson is a great example of what it means to be a responsible and respectful student. As a freshman, he has already developed habits that will benefit him throughout high school and into his future career. He listens, puts forth consistent effort, treats others with kindness, and takes his responsibilities seriously. Jackson does not rush through his work just to get it finished. He takes his time, asks for help when he needs it, and is willing to ask questions or seek clarification when he does not fully understand something. He demonstrates that success isn't just about getting good grades—it is also about having the right attitude, being dependable, putting forth genuine effort, and having the willingness to learn and improve. Jackson is a student who continues to build strong habits and is very deserving of this recognition.

Today, Mr. Griffin's Career Exploration class attended Weir Minerals - Delta Industrial Valves and Lewis Pumps Company for a tour and also Manufacturing Day at Southwestern Illinois College’s Sam Wolf Granite City Campus and had the opportunity to learn all about the exciting world of modern manufacturing.

Students explored a variety of technologies and career opportunities, including automation, 3D printing, welding, computerized machining, robotic technology, and much more! They toured the SWIC Industrial Technology Center, watched demonstrations of advanced equipment, and learned about the many career opportunities available in the manufacturing industry.

Students also had the chance to meet with local manufacturers and see firsthand how technology and skilled workers come together in today’s workforce.

Manufacturing Day provided our students with a valuable hands-on learning experience and a closer look at the many career and technical education opportunities available right here in the Metro East.

A special thank you to Southwestern Illinois College and all of the local manufacturers and organizations who helped make today a great experience for our students and the rest of the schools that attended from the IL and MO area!
